Our Mission - The National Park Service cares for special places saved by the American people so that all may experience our heritage.

Since 1916, the American people have entrusted the National Park Service with the care of their national parks. With the help of volunteers and park partners, we safeguard these more than 400 places and share their stories with more than 275 million visitors every year.

Taking care of the national parks and helping Americans take care of their communities is a job we love, and we need and welcome your help and support.
